Our first weekend in Boston, we took the opportunity to enjoy the nice weather and ventured out to Smolak Farms, a local farm not far from us. We spent a lovely Saturday picking apples, visiting with the animals and enjoying some yummy apple cider donuts.
This little lady enjoyed walking around the apple orchards and even got in on the action by picking some apples from the trees!
There was a play area for the kiddos and Sydney had a great time. She was, however, a bit concerned by the paint dot that they put on her hand to show that we had purchased a ticket.
There were also animals. They had named each animal so that the animal's name started with the same letter as it's type. So - for example, Fiona the fainting goat. (top right picture below). As a family that tends to follow this same naming philosophy with our fish (and some of Sydney's stuffed animals), I enjoyed the names. (Frank the Fish is no longer, but we now have Bart the Betta Fish. Sydney's glow worm has been dubbed Gloria.)
Also, it should be noted that though there were fainting goats, we didn't actually see them faint. Dan did try to intimidate/startle them, but to no avail. (After we had moved on and were looking at the other animals, I did hear a man behind us saying "Boo!" loudly, I turned to look and he was also attempting to scare the fainting goats into fainting. To my knowledge, his efforts were also unsuccessful.)
